Nik Software Ships Viveza Plug-in for Aperture

Nik Software has released the Viveza plug-in for Aperture 2.1, Apple's groundbreaking
photo editing and management software. The Viveza plug-in allows Aperture users
to selectively control light and color in photographic images without ever having
to leave Aperture.

The Viveza plug-in works seamlessly within Aperture's organizing and editing
environment. Photographers simply place U Point powered Control Points directly
on colors or objects such as sky, skin or grass to make targeted adjustments
to an image within Aperture. Sliders make it easy to adjust brightness, contrast
or color with just a few mouse clicks. Viveza automatically selects objects
and seamlessly creates masks based on where the photographer places a Control
Point. By working directly on the image, powerful selective enhancements can
be accomplished in a fraction of the time needed by using other methods.

Viveza is now available for electronic delivery directly from Nik Software
at www.niksoftware.com.
Boxed versions will be available from Nik Software and through specialty camera
retailers throughout North America and the world by June 1, 2008. A complete
list of resellers may be found at www.niksoftware.com/resellers.

The suggested retail price of Viveza is $249.95. Viveza installs as an Aperture
plug-in, fully compatible with Mac OS 10.5. Current owners of Viveza for Photoshop
are eligible for a free update which includes Aperture compatibility by visiting
